Abstract
Nowadays, social network has brought many benefits; however it still has some problems. On the Internet, messages can be sent anonymously; therefore, people often write offensive and abusive remarks without considering others’ feelings. In this thesis, the discussion on such issue is studied, and an altruistic discussion platform is established. We hope to help behavior modification technology through social learning theory, and further guide students to have a positive discussion that can benefit other students’ learning.
In this thesis, we study on three questions, including the enhancement of student engagement, reducing the incidence of malicious remarks and promote the mutual benefit behavior culture in class in order to make the discussion board become an altruistic discussion platform. We think the platform should have two characteristics: one is positive and constructive, and the other one is to enhance the learning effectiveness of students.
The system was implemented in the sixth graders’ English courses for one year, three classes of total 91 students being included. By analyzing statistics, questionnaires and interviews, the results showed that this platform did achieve a high degree of participation and the interactive messages are prone to be positive.
